I have only started researching since the strike last week. I started with the google question "Do lightning rods work?" and got an amazing amount of information. I read thru that and familiarized myself with some of the basic concepts (much of which is also stated above). I was a "non-believer" until I did this research.

I have a personal reference from someone on TOTV for a company that looks like they really know what they are doing - their commercial reference list alone is impressive. Their website goes into a lot of detail about what they will actually do to help prevent damage. They are www.a1lightning.com , and I have absolutely no affiliation with this company, but I will be discussing protecting my house with them shortly.
